Nut Butter & Cranberry Cookies

by grainnep

A day spent in the garden sweeping and scrubbing worked up a good appetite. Chopping the tree down and finding a wasps nest in the middle of it meant I needed something nice to get over the shock. These did the job!

They are easy to whip up and with all spelt flour, good fats, low sugar content with delicious chocolate nut butter makes a pretty good option for a still delicious tasting biscuit. I love using different flours and the spelt flour adds a lovely nuttiness and coarser texture that works perfectly with the nut butters.

My other half orders all our nut butters from iherb in the US and they are really good. If you use this code DOM130 you can avail of a discount through him.

Whisk flour, salt and baking soda.
Beat nut butter and butter together until creamy.
Beat in the sugar and the egg and beat well.
Turn mixer down low and beat in the flour.
Add the cranberries.
With damp hands, roll tablespoons of mixture and place onto parchment paper on a flat baking tray.
Flatten slightly and bake for 10-12 minutes.
Cool and sandwich together with chocolate nut butter.
